The drink was made nicely--no fuss, no shortcuts, just done right. The seating was comfortable and well laid out, and the ambience is hard to beat. Warm lighting, classy atmosphere, and the kind of views you only get at the Banff Springs. It's the sort of place where you can actually relax, talk, and take in the surroundings without feeling crowded or rushed. Overall, a solid experience. Good drink, great setting, and absolutely worth stopping in if you're at the hotel or nearby.

The assistant manager/host was so awesome and attentive. My mom struggles with GI issues and is intolerant to a lot of things -- he did his best to communicate with the chef and our server to create a dish that would be more akin to what my mom could eat. I got the beef & bison meatballs and a side of cornbread. As well as an unleaded espresso martini. Delish! Interior is swanky and dim, but has great big windows that give a lovely view of downtown Banff.

They flambe it before you receive it so you get a little show. But the real show is in the flavor. The peppers and onion with the sweet ginger marinade was outstanding. The beef was fork tender. The duck wings with the sweet glaze was also delicious. And the meatballs were moist and flavorful. Both our sides easily feed the four of us. Service with Cate was great. The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxing.

Basic pub menu- but offered with a culinary flair not commonly found! Apologies for sounding like a…read morefoodie but the kitchen offered flavours that I would not expect: Burger Sauce that is kicked up with a little horseradish (not the mundane 1000 dressing knockoffs found in every other restaurant) that made their cheeseburger remarkable while the shareable sausage board offered the best contrast of a juicy (not greasy) sausage with a chewy (not tooth breaking) pretzel and a cheese sauce with just a little kick of pepper. We visited mid-week mid-afternoon and had the place to ourselves but can imagine the place rocks at night and during high season. Definitely worth a visit!

However, the people next to us ordered various cuts of steak and those looked unbelievable!

I went searching for a menu that looked elevated and had a diverse offering that would satisfy my party of four who wanted to eat local meat, fish and vegetarian/vegan options. I landed on Good Folk which is a fairly new restaurant (A little more than a year old) located in the Otter Hotel. The staff was attentive, efficient, personable, well versed with the menu and able to comment on their recommendations from tasting the dishes themselves. A well appointed bar and mixologist capable of concocting four diverse drink orders ranging from a Hendrick's Dirty Martini up, shaken with olives, a smokey Manhattan and two mocktails.

One roll had perfectly grilled pieces on top with avocado that added a nice smoky flavor, while the other had a great crunchy texture that balanced everything out really well. I also ordered what I believe was a matcha drink, and it paired perfectly with the meal. It was smooth, refreshing, and a nice contrast to the richness of the sushi. Everything tasted high quality and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the whole place had a great vibe. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Banff and craving good sushi and a solid matcha drink. Service was great. But a little slow

It's on the saucier side and I find the pieces of fish on it are scrawny compared to when they serve sashimi.

We had dinner at The Prow in Banff and overall it was a great experience…read more We started with cocktails: the Smoke Signal and the Sleeping Buffalo. Both were excellent, balanced, and creative, but the bar service was very slow. It took 10-20 minutes for each drink order to arrive, which was noticeable. For food, the buffalo tartare and grilled squid appetizers were standouts: fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The charcuterie plate was massive and loaded with high-quality selections; it's easily shareable, and we ended up packing some to take home. Mains were consistently good: the kids' mac and cheese was simple but solid, the buffalo rigatoni bolognese was rich and flavorful, and the 14 oz Alberta ribeye was cooked to order but could've used a bit better sear. That said, everything else on the ribeye plate was excellent and well-executed. Service overall was very friendly, and while the pace at the bar dragged, the kitchen delivered reliably tasty dishes. Extra fun to see a family of elk walk outside of our window! If you're in Banff and want a mix of hearty local flavors and polished presentation, The Prow is worth a visit, just order your drinks early.
